"What we would like to really see is the FBI to come in and bring all of their resources, skills, equipment and experience to bear. That's what we need. This is a case where we are not going to let this just become a file sitting on someone's desk," Badon said.

Enclade holds out hope and clings to a higher power.

"God is going to get me through this and keep my baby safe and bring my baby back to me," Enclade said.

Monette's family also attended Franklin Avenue Baptist Church earlier Sunday.

The family headed back to California after the services and is expected to return in June.
